from USHL.com:

Fargo Force, the newly named USHL franchise in Fargo, has announced that season tickets for the 2008-09 inaugural season are on sale now. Tickets are $395 for a bowl seat and $1,000 for a club seat. There is not a bad seat in the house," stated Lance Johnson, Urban Plains General Manager.

Seats can be reserved by putting down $99/seat and can be done at www.fargoforce.com or by calling 701.364.FORCE. Selection of seats will be based on the order the deposits come in. Next summer the Fargo Force will hold a Select-a-Seat night where season ticket holders can come in and select their seat

OK, $13.17 per ticket (based on a 30-game season) for any bowl seat? Wow, that seems high to me.

GB offers a steep discount on season tickets, such that you can get them for as cheap as $6 per game. If FF charges that for season tickets, what will single game tickets be?

And don't they (at least for now) have competition?

Wow... this just seems really high. Am I missing something?

How many home games do they have.

London we pay around $425 for seasons in a sweet rink the John Labatt Center. Holds 9,090 but is closer to 10,000 with all the suites and standing crammed full.

That is based on 2 pre-season and 34 home games.

Ohio has 30 home games this season...

my season ticket in Sioux City was $225 I think. $13.17 per ticket is pretty high for a USHL club, they're going to want to re-think those prices before long I'm thinking.

I looked at every USHL teamweb site for ticket info. I didn't include "special" seating like party pits, VIP or executive boxes. These are the prices they had posted. Prices ranged from $450.00 in SC and GB to $75.00 for Chicago for 30 game packages.

$13.00 tickets seem to be about the average price for a ticket.

Well, $13 may be close for single game tickets, but looking at those figures (ie. as cheap as $6.40 in GB, $8.50 in SF, $9 in Omaha) that's pretty high for the full season.
